The HORSES LEGS.
Why They Should be Given the Very Bes
of Care in Winter.

Why They Should be Given the Very Best
of Care in Winter.
In those States where mud prevails
at times during winter, some horses
more than others are liable, through
standing in mud and melting snow, to
get cracked heels, and from this swelled
and feverish legs. The skin cracks, all
the parts adjacent take on low form
of inflammation, and this frequently
causes such tenderness of the parts as
to make the horse so lame. Farmers
who drive in from the country through
the mud, and while in town let the team
stand ankle deep in mud or slush,
have no reason to expect their horses
will not have sore heels unless they re
ceiye extra care on returning at night.
The requisite care, however is seldom
given, and the horse stands all night
with dirty feet and legs, and perhaps
eats hearty feed of corn, which latter
add to the chances of feverishness. In
the first place, horses should not be
permitted to stand in slush above the
hocfs. They may travel in the mud
without harm, if the after care of the
legs is what it should be, but the stand.
ing at rest in the mud is as damaging
to the parts involved as it is for the
horse TO stand in a current of cold all
when the body has been overheated by
exercise. Neither on returning to the
stable from drive under the condition.
named should the horses legs b.
washed and then permitted to dry il
their own time, but should be thor
oughly dried by rubbing, and then i
there is any danger to the heels the
should be bandaged in flannel. If tn,
heels have already become hot anC
show signs of cracking, they should b
treated at night, after thorough cleans
ing, with ointment of acetate of lead
and in the morning with glycerine, a
the latter will protect from crackin,
during exercise. That TROUBLESOME
ailment called grease follows sore heels
as do also fungous eXcresccnces, bot
sometimes difficult to remove.-Nd

Some Kind of an Uncle.

A littls girl not six years of age got
lost in Chicago. She strayed too far
from her mother in the crowd. When
she found that she was being helplessly
swept along by the busy throng Of
pedestrians, she did not become fright
ened or lose her childish self-possessfon.
Boldly walking right up to the first po-
liceman she saw, she thus addressed
him:
"You must be some of our f6Sks,
You dress Just like papa. I've loss my
mamma, and l wish you would please
take me home"
She ultimately reached home. 1t ap.

afterward explained, che must be some
kind of an uncle. Golden Days.

Some of Rufus ChOate's Happy and Won

Some expressions are so happy that

They are epigrams born like bubbles,

Rufus ChOate was constantly throw

which held the germs of genius. In
speaking of John Quincy Adams re-

had an instinct for the juglar vein and
the carotid artery as unerring as that
of any carnivOrous animal" Of a
lawyer who was rs contentious
as he was dul-witted, he declared:
"He is a bulldog with confused
ideas" The court once demand that
he should find a precedent for course
of action he had proposed. ~ will
look, your Honor" he returned, with
his peculiar courtesy of manner, "and
endeavor to find a precedent, if you
require it, though it seems to be pity
that the court should lose the honor Of
being the first to establish so just a
rule" Of an ugly artist who had
painted a portrait of himself he de-
clared: at is a fragrant likeness. "
His casual criticisms were fun of mean
ing. After looking through a volume
of Poems of the East, ~ he said: The
Oriental seems to be amply competent
to metaphysics, wonderfully competent
to poetry, scarcely competent to virtue,
and utterly incompetent to liberty"

art, but those of us who are not ge-

we do.-FOath'S Companions

INSECT PARASITES,

Tho Constant Warfare Waged Against
Them by the Entire HymenOpterous
Family.
We have but to open our eyes to sec
the constant war that the hymenopter-
GUS insects wage againstinjurious ones.
Even those most dreaded by US, are
helping to diminish the numbers of the
enemies of our gardens and fields. Tho
white-faced hornet which often hangs
its great paper nestin our orchards, and
which every body fears, is nevertheless
destroying myriads of noxious insects
This past summer l was picking pears
from tree which was infested by that
worst enemy of the pear and cherry
trees-the "slug," (Selandria CeraSi),
when noticed several hornets on the
tree. Stepping back and keeping watch
l saw they were taking the slugs from
the leaves. Sometimes one would get
two or three, and holding them in its
mandibles and fore legs, would fly to
its nest on a neighboring tree, where it,
no doubt, fed the unsavory things to
the young hornets.
To this order also belong the ichneu'
mon-flies, which compose one of the
most important and largest groups in
the insect world. They are all para
sites. Some are quite large, while
others are so small that they can scarce
ly be seen without the aid of lens.
But they all have similar habits, de-
posting their eggs in other insects.
The largest species leave but one egg in
each victim, while some of the smaller
ones leave great numbers.
One of the most familiar examples
may be found in the tomato-worm.
Some years it is almost impossible to
find worm free from these internal
parasites, The parent of these para
sites is tiny, black, microgaster fly,
which goes peering about among the
tomato vines until it finds a worm,
when it lays great many eggs all over
its body. The eggs soon hatch, and the
minute Larvae work their way into the
body of the worm. The worm eats vo-
raciously, and grows as fast as if
nothing was the matter The little
parasites grow too, and make the body
of their host look plump and full, for
they are packed thickly between the
digestive organs and the skin, where
they consume all of the fat, which
would otherwise go to make the future
moth.
When the little things are fulI-grown,
and have finished eating, they gnaw
their way out through the skin of their
host, and now standing on end, they
commence to spin their small cocoons
all over its back and sides. The poor
victim has rapidly shriveled and shrunk
in size, its appetite is gone, and it soon
dies. But it clings to the plant, and
lives long enough for the small flies tC
come out of the cocoons, which is in
about five days after they are spun
Each one pushes up tiny cap or dool
on the top of its cocoon, and very
different looking creature comes fortt
from that which we saw wind itself il
